Aringa, also known as Low Lugbara is a Central Sudanic language spoken by the Aringa ethnic group in the northwestern corner of Uganda, north of Lake Albert. It is related to the language spoken by the Lugbara and Ma'di peoples.
Aringa is sometimes considered a dialect of Lugbara language[1], other times a separate language[2] The speakers of Lugbara and Ma'di both consider Aringa to be a separate but related language.
